Chapter 60: The Blackbears

Kael's povThe gate creaks open as we pull up to Alpha Rafael's residency in the academy. The place feels wrong the moment I step out.These creatures aren’t like us. Wolves move in shadows and hunt in packs while Bears walk visibly like moving mountains and guard everything like it holds their blood. Their numbers live together under one roof with their future Alpha. No privacy. No quiet. Everything is shared and everything is being watched.Unlike Rafael, I keep only my omegas, my beta and gamma close. The rest of my people live in the dorms and mix with students. We don’t build walls like this.The men guarding the gate glare at us as we pass through. “Should we have brought the rest of the pack?” Dante’s voice breaks the silence.My mind went pack to all my pack members I have instructed to stay close in case something happens.I shake my head. “No. I have a solution.”At least I hope I do. If all goes well, we walk out in ten minutes with something to tell my father. He has been

Chapter 61: Always trust your gut

Aria's povI let the hot water run over me in the visitors room I'm using, until the steam fogged the glass. The cuts and bruises on my body from the training have already healed. I forgot to ask Adrian for more of that cream, I didn’t have much left and I needed it if I planned to survive another week in this place.I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel around me. My clothes were going to be a problem. Misha had shredded the ones good enough for a party and the rest were dirty and smelled like I had rolled in a pig sty.I sighed and reached for my old sweatshirt and jeans. Then I remembered the shopping bags in the room on my first day, Adrian had gotten for me. I had shoved them into the wardrobe and never opened them.I pulled them out and emptied everything on the bed. My breath caught.He went shopping for me, is he crazy? I check the label and my stomach flips. These weren't off the rack kind of clothes, these were expensive stuff. I held a dress between my fingers. The fab

Chapter 62: Blood

Kael's povThe rage in me is unexplainable. I felt Ghost snap to total madness inside me, his anger fusing with mine till there was no line between us.My claws locked around Misha’s hind leg and she howled as I flung her across the clearing the same way she had thrown Aria a second earlier. I lunged at her, my claw locking around her throat, not caring about the blood tinkling down her fur or her whimper. I needed blood…..Ghost needed blood.I heard some of the students around us shuffle forward as if they might interfere and I snapped my head toward them. My snarl ripped out, sharp enough to cut the air and they halted at once. They knew better. None of them stood a chance against me in this state.One more step and they’d bleed beside her.Misha whimpered again and I turned back to her, my claws tightening at her neck and snarled so badly I frosted at the lips. She disobeyed me after my warning. After my threat. After I told her to stay the hell away from Aria. She still dared.

Chapter 63: In bed with him

Aria's povThe bed feels so good under me, so soft as if it is made from feathers. I sink deeper into it, curling like a child who hasn’t slept in years.It has been so long I slept so peacefully.It’s as if someone had magically removed all the stress, worries and tension from my body. I wiggle my ass a bit, stretching my legs. I feel something firm behind me, like a wall. I wiggle again and I feel something else pressing against my backside, growing harder by the second.My eyes snap open.I take in the unfamiliar room, which means the warm wall behind me, currently spooning me, is a real person.I let out a small cry and bolt out of the bed so fast I fall to my knees on the floor. I turn around, my heart ponding so hard and I'm filled with even more horror when I realize the person is Kael.He just lies there, shirtless with his hair tousled. His elbow rests on the bed supporting his head as if he has been watching me sleep, as if he had allowed me to wiggle against him purposely.

Chapter 64: Morning in town

Aria's povI couldn’t even finish my breakfast, how could I?“We can go now, right?” I push the words out before my courage fades.Doris’s face brightens. “Of course we can. Let’s go.”It happens fast……..Too fast. One minute we’re leaving the cafeteria, the next we’re in the main building, standing in the welfare coordinator's office, Mrs Clark's, who didn’t even bat an eye as she nods, scribbles something and hands us two passes.Just like that. No questions. No hesitation.I blink down at the pass in my hand.Why didn’t anyone tell me about this before?I could have escaped a long time ago.We headed to a side of the campus I haven't seen before. It seemed darker, the building taller and quieter. “You don’t want to get your bag?” Doris walks beside me with a soft smile. “I have my purse already.” I shook my head. “I’ll just look around today.”She nods. “That’s fine.”Inside my chest, a fist tightens around my heart. It’s better this way. No way am I going back after hearing abou

Chapter 65: What a day

Aria's povThis is the wrong time to have a panic attack, but it comes anyway. The warning signs are there, my fingers shaking, my chest tightening, the pressure building in my head like someone is pushing my skull from the inside. I feel all of it as Misha throws me to the ground.My back hits the dirt and my breath stutters. She walks toward me with that cruel, slow confidence that tells me she plans to enjoy this.I try to stand up but my palms slip and I go down. My legs refuse to work right and my body is tired, so tired of all the beatings, of surviving……….every bit of fight I had in me is gone. Not that it matters because I won’t be able to fight nine-ten people even if I tried. I thought today will be different, that I will finally escape this academy. I should be on my way home by the end of today but instead here I am about to face death for the second time in a few hours.Misha smirks at me.“Alpha Kael is too good for a thing like you. He’s going to be Alpha of the big

Chapter 66: Emergency meeting

Kael’s povMy father calls me just as I reach for my car keys to go pick up Aria. I considered not picking up, I didn’t want Aria to walk, not with Misha still out there.He never calls at this hour and I don’t call too till it’s time for the weekly check in, but now he calls an emergency conference because of the increase in the attacks of rogues on our border. Ghost is pissed. He had marked all the borders because he considered it his even though our Alpha is still alive. The rogues nor any other pack didn’t dare to cross them when I’m around, they only did so when I’m too far away. One of the reasons I can’t wait to take over from him, no one fears Micheal Blackthorn anymore. My father has lost his touch and now it is me they fear. I lean back in my chair as I listen to him, his Beta and Gamma who are Dante and Jaxon’s father, give me updates. “No injuries this time. Warriors managed to push them back,” Beta Moses said.Barely. Who knows what will happen next time.I rubbed my

Chapter 67: Two beds

Aria's povMy head feels like it will fall off from all the running, lifting, carrying, dropping, and more carrying. First Lucien not Kael……The moment Kael finally drops me in his own bed, his familiar scent wraps around me and the last of my strength drains out of me. It feels like someone opened a door in my spine and let my energy spill into the floor. I don’t understand why I’m this sluggish. My limbs feel heavy and loose, my thoughts slow.It takes me a few long minutes to realize the room is silent. I blink, groggy, turn my head, and notice I am alone.What the…?Kael left me. Alone…..Again?.What is wrong with that man? The frustration makes my temples throb as I push myself upright. I stand, wobbling a little, and head to the bathroom. There is a new set of toiletries waiting on the counter, things that weren’t here before. It’s almost like he is preparing for me to live here. The thought makes me scoff under my breath.I eye the tub. A soak would fix my soul right now, bu

Chapter 68: I’m going home

Aria's pov“Of course I didn’t, why would I do that?And of course I will be stupid to believe a word that comes out from his mouth. “Move,” I mutter, brushing past him toward the stairs.He grabs the edge of the door and slams it shut after me. “Say something.”“Aria—”“What?” I turn on the staircase. “What do you want from me now?”He looks at me like he is missing something. “I want you safe. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”“That’s not true,” I say, climbing another step. “You want me under your thumb.”“That’s not fair.”“Then tell me the truth.” I stop halfway up and glare down at him. “Did you know Misha was here when you left me alone? Did you know anything about what she planned? Anything about what could’ve happened to me?”His throat works but he doesn’t speak.“Answer me,” I push. “You claim you care. So answer.”“Aria…” He drags a hand through his hair, pacing one slow step. “I didn’t think she would get to you.”“You knew she was here?”He closes his eyes. “Not like that.”

Chapter 69: What we want

Kael's povI close my eyes as Ghost pushes against my skull hard enough to split the bone. The pressure rolls through me in waves, each one darker than the last. Images slam into my mind one after another. Torn limbs……Crushed bodies…….Blood sprayed across the floor. Ghost shows me all of it, a promise of what he plans to do.“I will bathe in that wolf’s blood whether you like it or not”, he snarls.My teeth grind. “Then you’ll condemn us both to death.”I bite out for what feels like the thousandth time.“I will kill them all if I must. You have no idea what we can do. We are stronger than all of them, yet you cage us and reduce us to their normal standard”. “Fucking stop,” I rasp, the silver burning deep into my wrists as I pull against the chains. “You can’t kill whoever you want. There are rules that we follow for a reason and you can’t just break them just because of a human girl.”“She belongs to me.”“Not in this life.”A wild burst tears through my spine, and my body jerks fo
